It’s much more evident how much Gray and Jack mean to each other than it was in the first book. I love Jack’s snark even though I feel like it’s used as a defense mechanism. And there are times when it’s oddly funny and also times when it’s heartbreaking. The reader experiences all the discomfort of Jack’s world right along with him. Jack’s mental illness in this book is another character. Then Jack and Jan are swept up in a horror they’re not sure they can escape. It begins in a happy place with Jack, Gray, and Jan developing their poly relationship. There’s a lot I can’t say about this book without giving away spoilers for the few people (besides myself) who haven’t yet experienced the genius of Jack L. I’ve been in a reading slump since the beginning of the year but reading this book made me want to read again the way I used to. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart! While reading I experienced an entire range of emotions: happiness, anger, horror, sadness, blinding rage. As brutally as possible, Jack’s sex life is now live webcam feed for a whole new audience. But when the content of the porn sites force even Gray to turn his back on Jack, leaving Jack isolated and away from the full protection of the Masters’ Circle, Jack is left at the mercy of a group of men who are out to alter Jack’s whole perception on his BDSM lifestyle and the reality of being Jack Harrison. At first the porn links are done to unsettle, to disrupt Jack’s fire and ice world: all the sexed-up adrenaline of being caught between the pleasure to Gray Raoul’s BDSM kink and the “soft lad” gentleness of Jan Richards’ vanilla touch. Yet when footage to Jack’s past starts appearing on internet porn sites, Jack’s whole world is again turned on its head.
Video footage of Jack sleeping with Cutter, a man who has mutilated teenagers for his own sadistic streak, should have stayed dead and buried with the man who had filmed it. We’re okay, aren’t we, mukka?” ~ Jack Harrison
